3	3	join the American Cancer Society and Texans across the state in
4	4	recognizing February 26, 2019, as American Cancer Society Cancer
5	5	Action Network Day at the Capitol; and
6	6	WHEREAS, The American Cancer Society was established in
7	7	1913 with the goal of raising public awareness of the disease;
8	8	through the years, the organization has focused heavily on
9	9	research, and nearly every major breakthrough for the last 70
10	10	years has been made by scientists funded by the society; in the
11	11	1960s, the society was instrumental in confirming the validity of
12	12	the Surgeon General's report on the link between smoking and
13	13	cancer; and
14	14	WHEREAS, The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network
15	15	is a volunteer-driven organization that works to reduce cancer
16	16	rates by funding grassroots, lobbying, and media campaigns and by
17	17	promoting the use of early detection programs; and
18	18	WHEREAS, Great strides have been made in cancer prevention
19	19	and research, and countless lives have been saved by the efforts of
20	20	hardworking health care providers, yet it is estimated that more
21	21	than 1.7 million people in the country, including more than 124,000
22	22	Texans, will receive a cancer diagnosis this year alone; and
23	23	WHEREAS, The American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network
24	24	continues to play a vital role in helping to inform Texans about
25	25	cancer prevention strategies and services, and it is truly
26	26	fitting that a day be set aside to pay tribute to its volunteers
27	27	and their exemplary achievements; now, therefore, be it
28	28	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
29	29	Legislature, hereby commend the volunteers of the American
30	30	Cancer Society Cancer Action Network on their commitment to
31	31	reducing the incidence of cancer and extend to them best wishes
32	32	for a productive American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network
33	33	Day at the Capitol; and, be it further

35	35	honor of this special occasion.
